1) manually configure $package using custom values 2) rm -rf /var/cache/debconf 3) DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive dpkg-reconfigure $package The status of /etc (and anything else managed by the maintainer scripts) should be the same after steps 1 and 3. Unfortunately I don't see how this could be tested automatically ... step 1 is the difficult part (someone needs to create custom preseeding for everything) :-( ... steps 2+3 could be done with minor changes to piuparts.
